cuccinelli looks like he could lose. if in fact cuccinelli loses, chris christi wins, what does that say about the future of the republican party? >> every individual race is different, but i think the republican party is a big party. and we need moderates like chris christi who can win in new jersey and our party. but we do need moderates like chris christi in the party. as far as cuccinelli, i like him. i hope he wins. in the last few days, it's gotten narrower because people are really unhappy with obama care, and he was one of the leaders. and when he sued, he said one important thing. he said if someone chooses not to buy insurance, are they committing an act of trade or commerce? and i think that point was well taken, because at the supreme court, ultimately they didn't rule on the interstate commerce clause and cuccinelli was very prescient in saying, interstate commerce is not just to buy this. and i think he won that argument on obama care. >> is chris christi the guy to beat for the republican nomination in 201

he linked republican ken cuccinelli to the national tea party. let's see if he made the proper connection. take a look. >> you've seen an extreme faction of the republican party that has shown again and again and again that they're willing to hijack the entire party and the country and the economy and grind progress to an absolute halt if they don't get 100% of what they want. if you embrace the very politics that led to this shutdown, then i guarantee you, it's not in the rear-view mirror of voters in virginia. they remember. they understand that that is not how you govern and that is not how you move america forward. >> so, larry, cuccinelli's campaign is predicting that the president's presence there would energize republican voters who were outraged over the botched rollout of obama care. is there a chance that cuccinelli could pull out a last-minute win because of the problems with the obama care website and not about what's in the rear-view mirror of the shutdown? >> you know, i always say there's always a chance, because every now and then

terry mcauliff and ken cuccinelli. it has been all over the board, has it not. right after the government shutdown it looked like mcauliff had a wider lead. that gap seems to be kind of closing. where do they stand? what do you think? >> well, the obama care controversy has, i think, cut a couple of points off mcauliff's margin. the problem for the republican ken cuccinelli is that mcauliff ran up the score when he could during the government shutdown and raising far more money than the republicans have been able to do for ken cuccinelli. >> so frankly he could have won by 10 i think mcauliff is more likely to win by 4, 5, 6, 7, something like that. look where they are winning? they are winning where they shouldn't in a blue state with chris christie. they are losing where they should be winning in a purple state that has often voted republican, virginia. they have got to look at their two candidates, chris christie and ken cuccinelli and figure out what worked and what didn't, and how can we apply those lessons to 2016? >> not only that susan. let's talk about

ken cuccinelli is zeroing in on lynchburg, own oak. mcauliffe is leading in the polls but there is some question if there's a very low turnout race, if they don't get the two million number of voters they want, there could be a chance for him. we shall see. from folks i've talked to they say they have mainly been supportive of mcauliffe and cuccinelli has been too extreme for their views. >> luke russert for is in value. thanks so much, sir. we want to shift gears to the other governor's race being decided today in new jersey. there we have fresh video of chris christie off to the polls this morning with his wife there. christie is being challenged by democrat barbara buono. both candidates have cast their ballots. we have richard lui stationed in new jersey. what are voters telling you? >> what they're telling us is who can run the state the best. who can take care of our economy. that's a common theme that we're hearing from voters that we've been able to speak with. we're here at the morristown firehouse. so far we've been seeing th
